The time in between was utterly boring. I didn't find the robots throwing/shooting balls at all exciting. It was a rather easy game to build a robot for, the real challenge that year was to build your robot well enough to get up the ramp. Plus the robots pretty much all looked/did the same thing and that doesn't make for an exciting game to me.

So as you can tell from my post i have been voting off 2006 since 2003 got voted off.
I don't understand the 2004 craze, either. Autonomous was a joke and what's the deal with letting human players take away the scoring during the match?

The only problem with 2006, in my opinion, was the autonomous bonus. But come on, what's more exciting than watching a pair of robots simultaneously load up the center goal in the finals? I don't think any of the Einstein matches have been as awesome as the 2006 matches.
